Hop’s

Came here for breakfast for their last Saturday breakfast of the season! Super cute spot with only outdoor seating. They share a parking lot with a local crag, definitely a climber's haven! You order at the counter and then grab a table and they'll bring out your food.I got the biscuits and gravy with a duck egg and my wife got the breakfast plate. The biscuits and gravy were excellent! Some of the best I've had in a while. I would come back just for that! Especially given there aren't too many breakfast spots around the gorge.Also, this place is all farm to table which is awesome! Highly recommend!

We ended up here because most of the other spots around RRG are closed early in the week. It was hibachi day and we decided to do takeout because there wasn't a high chair for my littlest to sit in. We told the cashier it was to go and we sat and had a drink while we waited. A lady (who I'm assuming is the owner) brought out our food but it was made for dine in so I let her know we ordered it to go. The window directly to the kitchen was open and so was the kitchen door, and we heard her walk back and yell in a very condescending tone at the cashier that she didn't type "to go" correctly on the ticket. I understand it's frustrating when mistakes happen, but we felt very uncomfortable as a patron being able to hear how awful the employee was being treated over something like that. To make matters worse, she came back and said she had trouble getting it from the plate to the box so it was "messy". After paying $15 for a plate of food and it not being my fault it wasn't packed correctly, to just have it slung into a box was off putting. I felt like that could have been handled a little bit better than it was too. The food was decent but based on the uncomfortable vibe, there are much better and more inviting places in town.

Charming spot right next to the crag! I love the location! Super convenient to grab a better on the outdoor patio after a day of climbing. One of the few restaurants in the area that is open earlier in the week - seems like most of the other options are closed Monday through Wedenesday. I appreciate that you can buy beer from here; they have quite the selection! I also stopped by for dinner with a large group of friends in the evening. You order at a counter and they bring your food to your table. There was a line when we arrived - I think this may be due to the lack of restaurant options on a Wednesday. The line did most quite slowly as folks were indecisive and they also take your drink order at that point. You wait at the counter for your cocktail then you find a seat. They have ample seating on their patio, including tables to accommodate large groups. That said, it seemed like they were a bit overwhelmed serving two large groups in succession. They also were not able to accommodate my friend's dietary needs that well. It was pasta night when we went. The ravioli I ordered was pretty good. I was intrigued by the sweet potato side dish, but was underwhelmed. I think the start of my meal was my cocktail! I think this might be a better spot to come for drinks and less so for dinner (or maybe when they aren't inundated by two large groups at the same time).

Tried this place late afternoon on Wednesday. Awesome atmosphere: quaint, forest-surrounded large patio seating. We got the sampler beer tray with four local-ish brews and shared hibachi chicken. The chicken dish was as fresh as it could be- very good and flavorful, and very fresh and healthy. This is a solid spot at RRG

Friendly people, good drinks, lovely views, waiting on food now. Great experience- reviews were all great.

Stopped by Hops after dinner to enjoy a drink and the vibe was awesome, great selection of local beers on draft. We didn't try anything to eat. It's got a nice patio that really sets up a fun afternoon drink.

I got the vegan chickpea salad Sammy. It was one of the best Sammie's I've ever had! Toasted bread was perfect and it was the typical "mayo" based salad. Dog friendly, cute place. Only thing that would have made it better is if they had some music playing in the "dining room" area.

Beautiful, romantic setting!! Very nice, peaceful place to set outside and enjoy dinner. Limited menu, but that was expected. Husband got the steak hibachi, I got the chicken. Neither of us were fans of the sauce but the vegetables were crisp & delicious. The sauce wasn't terrible, but just not what we were expecting, lots of ginger in it & kinda generic (like something out of a microwave dish).If back in the area, we will definitely go back, just not on a Wednesday.

Hop's is a true diamond in the rough!!!!Delicious farm to table food-so fresh and exciting. The place itself is cute,hipp located on the roadside,but surrounded by wooded views,creek and sandstone mountain clifs.The stuff is professional and enthusiastic.The variety of local beers,bourbon,wines,meads and carefully crafted cocktails are amazing. The food was so fresh and delicious,honestly I never tested chicken so juicy and delicious in my lifetime. I ordered the vegetarian hibachi-it was flavorful,fresh and exciting. My husband ordered the chicken hibachi and it was delicious too!They were out of stake hibachi by 7pm.We also had cucumber salad and olive-feta dip for appetizers. We got a delicious,flavorful,healthy and fresh meal that we have been craving on or longer road trip from Florida to Kentucky. If you are inthe Red River Gorge area of Kentucky definitely stop by Hop's!

The food is farm to table which is a great thing given that's really faraway from anything.The place is decorating and ambiance really cool with recycled materials. The food was delicious as we came in for taco Tuesday and got the vegan sweet potatoes and fried tomatoes taco plates. We got a vegan chocolate cake that was out of this world. The owner is so nice. I will come back when in the area.
